Tesla Model 3 Blue

It might look like a fairly ordinary saloon, but the Model 3’s performance is nothing short of extraordinary. The entry-level Standard Plus has one electric motor – and rear-wheel drive – and has acceleration off the line to match proper sports cars. The other two versions have an extra motor and all-wheel drive, the extra power and traction meaning they are even faster still, with the Performance hitting 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds even if Tesla slightly cheekily subtracts what it calls ‘rollout’ before the clock starts. Whatever, there’s very little noise as you’re hurled towards the horizon,– just a purposeful whirr from the motors and a crinkle from the upholstery as you’re pushed back in your seat. Official range figures stand at 305 miles for the Standard Plus, 374 miles for the Long-Range and 340 miles for the Performance, all significantly better those of most other electric cars.
